If I accused Franken and didn't get my day to [View all]

testify, I would be pissed.

Franken isn't the only one who was denied due process. His forced resignation has left all the charges by the women in permenant limbo.

If the Dems took to the podium to strongly advocate for the victims getting their due process
the moral high ground wouldn't look so political would it?

Franken would get his due, the victims would get their due and the public would get their due.

The Dems could have stood with #metoo signs demanding due process for Moore accusers, just as they would have with Franken's

So could it be said that in their rush to be political - victims became collateral damage?

(Or in the case of Franken's accusers-relieved)
